Product Detail
Product Introduction
Grade 5 titanium countersunk screws are manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V (UNS R56400) for lightweight assemblies that require high material strength, corrosion resistance and a flush or near-flush installed head. The screw definition must include the head form and angle, drive, thread, length, material condition, surface treatment, mating component and finished-fastener acceptance requirements.
Countersunk heads have lower loadability at the head-to-shank transition than full-height heads. Joint design and testing must therefore consider the complete screw geometry rather than applying bar-stock properties directly to the finished screw.

Chemical Composition – Titanium Grade 5 / UNS R56400
Weight percent. Values are material limits; titanium is the balance.
| Al | V | Fe max | O max | C max | N max | H max | Residual each / total | Ti |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5.50–6.75 | 3.50–4.50 | 0.40 | 0.20 | 0.08 | 0.05 | 0.015 | 0.10 / 0.40 | Balance |
Mechanical Properties – Annealed Grade 5 Material Reference
| Property | Reference Minimum | Purchasing Note |
|---|---|---|
| Ultimate tensile strength | 895 MPa (130 ksi) | Reference minima commonly used for annealed Grade 5 bar material. Actual requirements depend on source product, diameter, condition and invoked specification. |
| 0.2% yield strength | 828 MPa (120 ksi) | |
| Elongation | 10% | |
| Reduction of area | 25% |
These values describe Grade 5 source material, not an automatic finished countersunk-screw rating. Finished-screw tensile load, head strength and test method must be defined by the applicable fastener specification or approved drawing.

FAQ
Does ISO 10642 fully specify Grade 5 titanium countersunk screws?
No. ISO 10642:2026 specifies the geometry and characteristics of reduced-loadability hexagon socket countersunk head screws in steel and stainless steel. It can be used as an agreed dimensional reference, but the order must separately define Ti-6Al-4V Grade 5 material, condition, inspection and finished-screw acceptance requirements.
Which countersunk head angle should be specified?
The angle must match the prepared countersink and the invoked drawing or dimensional system. A 90-degree head is common in metric ISO and DIN geometry, while inch and aerospace drawings may use other angles such as 82 or 100 degrees. Do not substitute one angle for another without engineering approval.
How can galling be reduced during installation?
Use compatible mating materials, clean threads, an approved lubricant or coating, controlled installation speed and a validated torque or preload procedure. The selected treatment must also be compatible with the service temperature, corrosion environment and cleanliness requirements.
